The Sibling Project at the Utah Parent Center was built to support Siblings of People with Disabilities throughout their lives. Our project provides information to parents, and adults who are transitioning into the role of caregiver. We also provide free support groups (Sibshops) for school-age siblings of people with disabilities across the state
The Sibling Project
What are Sibshops?
Sibshops are a fun, game-based support group for Siblings of People with Disabilities to connect with one another, make friends, express their feelings, and have FUN!
Sibshops is an official support group curriculum created by Don Meyer in 1982. Meyer’s Sibshops have brought siblings together for decades through his unapologetically fun approach to support groups.
The Sibling Journal
AVAILABLE NOW!
The Sibling Project at the Utah Parent Center partnered with the LEFA Collective, a local guided journal business, founded by a sibling!
This journal features dozens of prompts for siblings of all ages to reflect on their past, present, and future; their emotions; their wants and needs; and have a space that allows them to take the support Sibshops provides, to their home! It can be used as a guided journal, or as an everyday journal, featuring daily pages!
Physical copies of the journal are coming! They will be free, while supplies last.
A PEEK INSIDE!
